This is great for burning donuts in a parking lot for show, I guess, but gives you white knuckles just about any other time.

I wonder if the torque tube has something to do with this? Since this makes it basically a solid inflexible piece of metal from the engine to the differential, perhaps it is just the torque of the engine acting on the entire car.
My 2015 5.0 Gt was nothing like the C6. Never had to worry about it going sideways. I think the extra lb ft of the engine and runflats cause most of the problems. I never get into it with cars next to me as i am scared i will end up hitting the car next to me.
